This story was submitted to the People's War site by CSV/大象传媒 Radio Nottingham on behalf of Mrs B Smith and Brenda Witton with their permission. The author fully understands the site's terms and conditions.

Brenda told me about the time when the bakery, in Meadows Lane in the Meadows district of Nottingham, was bombed. There was a very loud noise and the whole sky lit up.
Mrs Smith didn't like to remember it because her brother, Arthur, was working at the bakery and lost his life when it was bombed. She said that she doesn't talk about it much to people unless they were there. There was too much at the back of her mind. She was at home at the time at Brinkley.
Mrs Smith said that at home there was a field with a bank in it. Sometimes when there were bombers in the sky, they would get up on the bank and watch them dropping bombs. She remembers that she heard them when they bombed Sheffield.
